I am not married now, but I remember what it was like. My then-husband and I could not communicate. I would try to listen, and sometimes he would even listen. The problem was that he had his own ideas of what I should be saying, so I have to come up with other ways to say what I needed to so he could understand. Easier said than done. Unfortunately, our marriage was not salvageable, but that was a mental health issue. I did find that when I truly spent the time trying to explain things to him, sometimes I could get through to him. It’s all about learning the language your partner speaks.
